The CITL training and workshops are designed to continually improve the teaching and learning experiences at RTC. The CITL provides two training categories:
- Training/workshops, suitable for both new and experienced faculty, and
- Programmes exclusively designed for new tutors. This is a mandatory programme for new tutors - designed to help develop the teaching capacity of those with minimal or no prior teaching experience in higher education.
Interested faculty can voluntarily sign up for the programmes.
Most sessions will take place on working Saturdays [the last Saturday of the month]. The training duration will range from 3 to 6 contact hours and 1 to 2 hours of follow-up meetings. The hands-on approach ensures practical learning experiences, and each training session concludes with a feedback and reflection session as part of the post-training follow-up.
Earn 3-6 credit points per session based on the duration. A full-day [6 hrs] workshop is worth 6 credit points, and a half-day [3 hrs] workshop is worth 3 credit points.
The following training/workshops are available in Fall 2025
